Chapter 138: He Might Die
As soon as she smiled, Edward was completely defenseless. The original emotions of anger were actually strangely calmed down because of such a sentence, which was not related to pain, not to mention not really a concern.
“Nothing, just a little trouble at work.” Edward took the information in her hand and turned to the car: “What do you want to eat tonight.”
“I’m not sure.” Lindsey followed with a bitter face and complained unconsciously, “I eat out every day, my stomach is a little upset.”
Edward moved slightly, and when she closed the car door, he immediately took out his cell phone and informed his assistant to arrange a nanny for her.
“No need to hire a babysitter, if you don’t mind, I’d like to eat downstairs tonight.” Lindsey, not used to being waited on, impulsively suggested, “We’ll go to the supermarket and buy noodles and toppings, it’ll be quick.”
Edward originally wanted to remind her that there was nothing in the kitchen of the apartment, but her unconcealed excitement made him get up in arms, “Sure, I’d be honored to have your hand-cooked noodles.”
Lindsey spat her tongue mischievously, took back her materials and put her seat belt on honestly.
The supermarket was right in front of the neighborhood, so the two got out of the car and discussed what they wanted to buy while they went into the supermarket.
The two got a shopping cart and went to the rice and grain section. Lindsey, on impulse, bought not only noodles, but also a lot of rice. Then she went to the fresh produce section and bought beef, vegetables and scallions.
Edward pushed the cart, the corners of his lips always kept an upward curve, and whenever she finished buying something, he reminded her of what was missing.
Lindsey’s initially excited expression gradually disappeared from her face and finally collapsed, muttering in dissatisfaction, “You knew you were missing this and that, why didn’t you remind me before you came.”
“Seeing you so happy, how dare I say no.” Edward teased her, “Come on, go get the bowls and pots or we won’t be able to eat dinner.”
“I don’t know why I find you so annoying.” Lindsey puffed out her pockets and headed for the grocery store, “You’re so mean.”
Edward laughed out loud, “How about I buy you dinner tonight and you buy me tomorrow night.”
“Not really.” Lindsey glared at him, “You’re always late, and your family Old Mr. Grant doesn’t care.”
“I’ll wait until he’s over his anger before I go back to apologize, but I’m looking for death.” Edward looked at her with a smile: “Have you read the report.”
“Yes, I read it on my phone at lunch.” Lindsey sheepishly said, “Do these bowls look good.”
“Yes.” Edward raised his eyebrows slightly, and did not intend to let her go: “You say that last night’s movement is so big, how come there is no news of Bruce.”
Lindsey heart thumped, face suddenly floated innocent and innocent smile: “I do not know this matter, you want to know the truth, why not go directly to ask him.”
“…” Edward was hurt internally, but decided to ignore the unpleasantness, seeing that she was willing to cook for him.
The shopping cart soon became a mountain, and when Lindsey saw that it was too big to fit, she asked for another one to push herself.
The two of them pushed the car out of the picture and took it in high definition.
The two of them were tired of carrying a bunch of miscellaneous things upstairs, Lindsey went to pour him a glass of water and muttered in a bad mood: “It’s your fault, you said it was arranged, but there was nothing in the kitchen.”
“I didn’t know you could cook either.” Edward looked at her with a bitter smile, “Besides, you didn’t tell me you could.”
After a pause, he lifted his hand and looked at the table below, “How about this, we should go out to eat tonight, and tomorrow I’ll arrange for a bellhop to come over and help you put this huge pile of things that should be washed and put together.”
Lindsey was silent, looking at the mountains of household appliances, pots and pans, nodding helplessly.
Lindsey got out of the car and looked around, disappointed to see Hector following her.
But soon, this disappointment was dispersed by Aurora’s appearance.
“Edward is looking good lately.” Aurora regretted that she didn’t give Edward a good look when we met at the Imperial Food Court last time. Now that she had met him again, she naturally wanted to make friends.
The Palvin family was not a low status in the capital, but she had gone abroad since she was a child, and there were not many sons and daughters of families in the city that she really knew well.
“Excuse me, you are …” Edward pretended to be confused and looked at her carefully for a while before he realized: “So it’s Miss Aurora, forgive Edward’s clumsy eyes.”
Extending his hand to shake hers vaguely, he inclined his head and gently introduced Lindsey: “Lindsey, this is Old Mr. Palvin’s granddaughter, whom I met before at the Royal Food Place.”
“Hello.” Lindsey nodded at her and looked at Edward with a smile, “I’m starving, let’s eat first.”
“Good.” Edward replied very crisply, his doting gaze moved away from Lindsey’s face and immediately became rusty and fell on Aurora: “Excuse me Miss Aurora, you see …”
“It just so happens that my friend’s have also arrived, so I will not bother the two of you.” Aurora maintained the proper decorum, calmly turned around to greet the girl behind her.
Edward smiled apologetically and led Lindsey to the pre-booked seat with a loving gesture.
She was slightly on her side with her back to herself, wearing a nude colored designer dress that flattered her curves, looking both modest and attractive.
What a beauty, she thought.
Aurora followed her hair Selena to the card table and sat down, her originally sunny expression instantly clouded over.
“What’s going on? It was fine a moment ago.” Selena looked around and asked in disbelief, “Who did you see that made you so unhappy.”
“The Hawke family big young man, the girl beside him, is Bruce’s ex-girlfriend.” Aurora tone sour: “You say she a small nurse, how can she be so powerful.”
Selena sniffed and subconsciously looked in Edward’s direction.
Unfortunately, Lindsey’s back was turned to her, so she could only see the side of her face, but she could roughly tell that she was a beauty.
When Selena recalled what Bruce had said to the press at the reception last night, she asked Aurora, “You broke up with Bruce?”
“It never really started, and it’s been almost a month since we’ve been in touch.” Aurora absentmindedly looked at her newly done nails: “It’s just a piece of crap, nothing to hold on to.”
Selena didn’t answer, just handed her phone over and gestured for her to see for herself.
“What is it.” Aurora took it, and smoothly pressed the play button. The phone’s volume, already turned down by Selena, still startled her when Bruce’s voice popped out.
Quickly put on the headphones, she watched the entire interview video in its entirety, and was immediately angry.
Bruce’s move was clearly a slap in her face, a slap in the face of The Palvin family.
“Selena, tell me the honest truth, what can I do to get back on the field.” Returning the phone, Aurora’s cold, moonlike eyes shone with a cold, cold light: “He wants to marry that little nurse, I won’t let him.”
“Let’s eat first, and then we’ll talk about this later.” Selena turned around to look at the same enemy, lowered her voice and laughed: “There is a ready-made one, I can see that the Edward is fascinated by her.”
Aurora pondered for a few seconds, charming and delicate face, gradually floating calculating light.
And Lindsey, at this time, was also inquiring about Aurora’s identity.
Edward was impatient with her questions, briefly said the family history of The Palvin family, and Aurora’s personal situation.RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
Lindsey remembered Aurora’s mocking words and felt uncomfortable again.
She was born with no such luck.
After finishing dinner, Edward went to settle the bill, Lindsey packed her bag and waited quietly for him to come downstairs together.
When she came downstairs, her assistant had already driven the car over, and Lindsey got into the back seat, yawning with exhaustion.
“I’ll take you downstairs, let’s give you a car tomorrow.” Edward looked at her heartily: “It’s easier to get in and out.”
“No need. If you think your Old Mr. Grant has a good heart, you can always find someone else to make a scandal.” Lindsey lazily turned her face to the side, smiling and joking: “If one doesn’t work, we can find more.”
“I didn’t realize you were so mouthy.” Edward made him laugh and cry: “I actually can’t help it, I joined this business, destined to be beautiful on the surface, but behind the tears.”
“Come on, don’t cry with me about this. There are many people out there who envy your life and want to live it for you.” Lindsey blinked in disgust: “This time you do not always come to me, I am busy, and the impact is not good.”
Edward agreed with rare alacrity, “Fine.”
The car returned to the apartment building, Lindsey got out of the car, smiled and waved at him, turned around and swiped the door to enter the elevator hall.
After taking a shower, Bruce’s phone call came just as he was about to fall asleep, and he was furious: “Did you go on a date with a young literary man tonight?”
Lindsey didn’t squeal and put herself on speakerphone to get a glass of water.
She hadn’t yet figured out how to talk to Dr. Hunter, what reasons to use to persuade Bruce to stop treatment and do the simplest rehab first.
He was his first patient, or the last patient Grandpa had admitted, and to die like that would have broken Old Mr. Grant.
“Why don’t you say something.” After a long interval, Bruce’s slightly cold voice rang out again, “Not saying anything is the default.”
“Bruce, I don’t like to be constrained everywhere.” Lindsey has no intention of explaining, she really hates this kind of feeling, being watched all the time.
The microphone quieted down, only vaguely heard the airflow of breath, fine scraping through.
Lindsey didn’t see Bruce speak again for a long time, so she took the initiative and said, “That’s it, I’ll call you as soon as I’m done with the task at hand.”
After a night of tossing and turning, Lindsey woke up at dawn, looked at the time, set the alarm clock and stayed in bed.
At around 8:00, Edward’s bellboy came to clean up and prepare breakfast for her.
Lindsey got up, washed up, changed into her regular clothes, and read the information in a hurry.
The event will be held in June for a month, and the movie will start promoting in mid-August, so there is still plenty of time.
After breakfast, Lindsey walked to the beauty school as usual.
Two students from the Academy were coming over today to help her with some of the event’s chores. Therefore, she deliberately arrived at Assistant Chen’s office half an hour earlier than yesterday.
Professor Lee selected these two students, one male and one female, who were both in their junior year, and Lindsey looked at them enviously; it had only been a year since she graduated, but she felt old all of a sudden.
